Definitions

  • the invention relates to polyolefin composites comprising natural fibers. More particularly, the present invention relates to natural fiber-filled polyolefin composites having increased strength resulting from the inclusion of low levels functionalized polyolefin coupling agent.
  • Coupling agents are thought to function by the reaction of a reactive anhydride or acid moiety with hydroxyl groups on the surface of the fiber to form an ester linkage.
  • the hydrophobic polymer chains extend outward from the fiber surface, where they can interact with the bulk of the polymer matrix. The exact nature of the interaction will depend upon the choice of coupling agent and polymer and the extent of crystallinity of the polymer.
  • the coupling agent generally serves as a transitional bridge that improves the adhesion of the plastic to the natural fiber surface. It is well-known that coupling agents improve the performance of natural fiber-filled polyolefins. Tensile, flexural, and impact strengths as well as heat deflection temperature are increased. Creep, linear coefficient of thermal expansion (LCTE), and water absorption are reduced.
  • Polyolefins containing polar or reactive groups, useful as coupling agents can be made by grafting polar monomers, such as maleic anhydride, onto the polyolefin.
  • polar monomers such as maleic anhydride
  • Various grafting techniques are well known to those skilled in the art, including solution grafting using peroxide initiation, solid-state grafting using peroxide or radiation initiation, and reactive extrusion in a twin-screw extruder, usually using peroxide initiation.
  • polyolefins containing polar or reactive groups, useful as coupling agents can be made by copolymerizing at least one olefin monomer with at least one polar monomer, for example, maleic anhydride.
  • thermoplastic resinous matrix materials having dispersed therein organic reinforcing fillers such as cellulosic or lignocellulosic fibers
  • organic reinforcing fillers such as cellulosic or lignocellulosic fibers
  • An object of the invention is to increase the coupling efficiency of coupling agents.
  • An increased coupling efficiency reduces the amount and expense of a coupling agent while permitting comparable or better coupling.
  • Functionalized polyolefins that are characterized by having both a high maleic anhydride content and a high molecular weight are more effective in improving the mechanical strength properties, creep resistance, and water absorption resistance of natural fiber-filled polyolefin composites than are more conventional polyolefins that are lower in functionality and/or molecular weight. Further, by the present invention, the coupling efficiency of maleic anhydride functionalized polyolefin in a cellulosic-polyolefin composite can be increased at lower levels of maleic anhydride functionality by adjustment of the reaction conditions during the functionalization reaction.
  • the invention is desirably a coupling agent, which is made from a polyolefin composition and is for wetting a cellulosic fiber.
  • the coupling agent desirably includes a polyolefin resin having a melt flow index at 190°C and 2.16 kg of 0.1 to 500 (g/10 min).
  • the polyolefin resin is desirably combined with 1.6 to 4.0 weight percent maleic anhydride, and the composition desirably has less than 1,500 ppm of free maleic anhydride.
  • the coupling agent desirably has a yellowness index of 20 to 70.
  • a cellulosic composite is desirably made from the coupling agent by combining the coupling agent with cellulosic fiber and at least one thermoplastic polymer.
  • the cellulosic composite desirably includes 10 to 90 percent cellulosic fiber, a first polyolefin resin having a melt flow index of 0.1 to 100 (g/10 min), and 0.1 to 10 weight percent of a coupling agent.
  • the composite of the present invention is useful for marine decking, deck supports, railing systems, automotive parts, and similar applications where additional structural strength is needed.
  • the invention also provides composites with improved durability by reducing water absorption and increasing creep resistance.
  • Coupling agents generally increase the raw material costs of the cellulosic-thermoplastic composite as they are more expensive than the cellulosic particulate and the thermoplastic resin. Therefore, it is desirable to improve the coupling efficiency of these coupling agents.
  • Coupling efficiency can be defined as the increase in property provided by the addition of set amount of the coupling agent relative to the same formulation that does not contain coupling agent. The following example is included to demonstrate the principle of increased coupling efficiency.

  • the cellulosic composite includes 40 to 65 weight percent cellulosic fiber, a first polyolefin resin having a melt flow index of 0.3 to 5 (g/10 min), and 0.5 to 2.0 weight percent of a coupling agent.

  • the polyolefins employed in this invention are typically polymerized from ethylene, copolymers of ethylene and other alpha olefins such as propylene, butene, hexene, and octene, copolymers of polyethylene and vinyl acetate, and combinations thereof.

  • Maleic anhydride is preferred.

Virtually any olefinically reactive residue that can provide a reactive functional group on a modified polyolefin polymer can be useful in the invention.
  • Functionalized polyolefin coupling agents are prepared by a melt-state process called reactive extrusion. This mechanism is well established and has been described by DeRoover et al., in the JOURNAL OF POLYMER SCIENCE, PART A: POLYMER .
  • a functionalized monomer and a free radical initiator are added to a twin screw extruder and subjected to elevated temperatures. During this process, a hydrogen atom is abstracted from the polymer chain by the initiator.
  • the functional monomer then reacts at the site of the free radical resulting in the formation of functional site on the polymer chain. Since higher molecular weight polymer chains are statistically more likely to react with the free radicals, narrowing the molecular weight distribution of the polymer is characteristic of reactive extrusion processes.
  • functional polyolefin coupling agents of the present invention can be prepared by solution or solid-state processes. Such processes are well known to those skilled in the art and are described, for example, in U.S. Patent Nos. 3,414,551 and 5,079,302 to G. Ruggeri et al., 19 EUROPEAN POLYMER JOURNAL 863 (1983 ) and Y. Minoura et al., 13 JOURNAL OF APPLIED POLYMER SCIENCE 1625 (1969 ).

  • the resulting mixture was fed to the mixer in three steps approximately one minute apart. Once all ingredients were added and had melted, the resulting molten mass was blended for 10 minutes at 100 rpm.
  • the mixed samples were place into a 5' x 4 1 ⁇ 2' x 1/8" three piece mold and pressed for three minutes at 40 tons pressure and 177°C in a Tetrahedron automated platen type press.
  • the extruded samples in Tables 7 and 8 were prepared using a Brabender Intelli-Torque Plasti-Corder with a counter-rotating #403 conical twin-screw configuration, and a Brabender 7150 drive unit. Zone temperatures were set at: Zone 1 (150°C), Zone 2 (160°C), Zone 3 (160°C), Zone 4 (die) (150°C). The die produces a continuous flat test specimen 1.0 inch wide and 0.080 inch thick. Data were acquired using the Brabender Measuring Extruder Basic Program with Multiple Evaluation, Version 3.2.1. Compounded formulations were fed into the extruder from a K-Tron K2VT20 volumetric feeder. Specimens were extruded at 60 rpm.
  • ASTM D790 test procedure was used to generate the flexural strength and flexural modulus data.
  • Water uptake was determined by immersing a 1.0-inch by 2.0-inch strip of extrudate in tap water at room temperature and measuring the weight gain. Compression molded samples (1/8" thick) were immersed for 30 days while the extruded samples (0.07") were immersed for 24 hours.
